The Realforce 87U employs Topre's unique capacitive tactile key switches and ergonomically distributed key switch weighting to provide the most comfortable typing experience available in a standard flat keyboard. Convenient LEDs are embedded in the Caps Lock and Num Lock keys and the Caps Lock and CTRL keys are swappable and configurable using the on-board dip-switches.

ATTENTION: Please note that this keyboard has black labeling on dark gray plastic keycaps. In low lit environments, this keyboard will appear to be blank! The black version of this keyboard is not available with higher contrast keycaps, so for better visibility, please consider the white version SE07T0.

WARNING: Not 100% Apple OSX compatible. The 87U will not wake your OSX system from sleep.
